Titan Rising Online: World Breaker

There was soft music being played in the background. All of the night family were gathered in the remains of what used to be their glorious compound, their first conclave turned out to be their last. It was time to move on, what the Night family has stood for, had been broken by the losses they had all felt, and right now the rest of the world was just waiting with baited breaths, scared and anxious for the response they all knew was coming.

"I have here the last will and testament of the patriarch and matriarch of the Night family. A copy of it has been sent to all your neural links, nothing there is subject to change and can not be reversed. And necessary legal actions have been carried out and any that is pending are those that require response from the right parties, in this case the children and grandchildren of my clients. Now I will leave you all to discuss among yourselves the contents of the  will."

It was not as if the contents of the will was something that was so convoluted or complicated, before they passed his grandmother had already decided that she was selling off their part of the family's shares. But this was under the event that they were still alive, but in the event of their deaths, everything they owned. With the exception of a few properties and shares, had all gone to his father and his nephew and Niece.

Cole ended up with a liquidated 15% of the companies shares. And while that was barely a drop in an ocean compared to the percentages he had from sierra corp, it was still a significant thing to gain. Kaito received a house and a small global delivery business which was not really small but still it was good enough for him. His aunt was given all the assets of her mother that had been under the  supervision of the her father and  stepmother.

Those assets were worth at least 500 million dollars, making Cole's aunt a very rich woman. But beyond that with the rest of what they owned going back to his elder brother's kids, but just like they had originally planned, all assets of theirs in the joint night corporation was fully liquidated.

By this point only a stupid person would not realized what had just happened. It was obvious the late Patriarch and Matriarch had been plotting to take everything they owned along with the talents their side of the family brought to the table and leave. And while no one was saying anything about it, the rest of the family were all livid.

Many of the assets that had been lost had also been build upon by their won sweats and contribution, but right now here they were, with nothing. In a way you could say this was practically the final nail in the coffin, no one else could truly and fully bring an end to the night family but the night family itself and this will has effectively split them all apart.

"This is bullshit!" someone said from among the crowd of the family members. But it did not bother Cole much, it was not as if they were left without anything to their names. They were all just rather sore that what was most valuable and lucrative have been taken away. But the Night corporation was still an inter-planetary company. They were all still sitting on a lot of moneys, just a lot less influence now.

"I will not beat around the bush Henry. If you and your side of the family leave with everything we have all worked for then, believe me when I tell you, it is only a matter of tie before the Night family becomes nothing ore than history. This will be our end, you are supposed to be the next head of the family, are you going to abandon that responsibility, you own family. You will doom us all."

Cole watched, along with the rest of the junior members of the family. This was not a conclave, and while he was no child discussions like this are better left up to the elders of the family...as he was right now nothing short of sinking his blade into the flesh of his enemies would be enough to get Cole to participate in any sort of political charade.

"I understand what you are saying to me aunt, but this is out of my hands. The clauses in the will I received is very different from yours. In mine id lose everything if I stayed, and right now all that matters to me is my own family. My wife children, daughter in laws and a my grandchildren. I know we are all family but I am sorry, you all can come to us for help if you need it, but right now I will only be thinking about myself I'm sorry…..please forgive me for such selfishness."

What was there to be said, in this case Cole honestly stood by his father. The rest of the Night family already proved they cared more about their own skin and profits than even the word family. Perhaps this tragedy would have changed things for them, but none of them were really affected, there were injuries with even one of his grandfather's brothers in the hospital still in a coma. But the old fuck was fully okay and would be waking up any time soon.

There was no loos among the extended family, it was as if the whole dance and the invasion had all just been an act. One big assassination attempt wrapped in a chaotic packaging. This was not the tie to be worry about asshole family members, it was just about time to truly close the book on the chapter that was the Night family.

"So truly this is it? After everything we have built and fought for, everything that we have bled for…. is this truly the end of the Night family? Where did we go wrong?"
